Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Samples were taken from the control and the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF test group from the bulk test preparation at 0 hours, which were stored refrigerated prior to analysis and from the pooled replicates (Replicates 1 to 4) at 48 hours, which were sent for immediate quantitative analysis.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Based on the results of the range-finding test a "limit test" was conducted at a loading rate of 100 mg/L to confirm that at the maximum concentration given in the OECD/EC Test Guidelines no significant immobilization was observed.
A nominal amount of test item (200 mg) was added to the surface of 2 L of test water to give the 100 mg/L loading rate. After the addition of the test item, the test water was stirred by magnetic stirrer using a stirring rate such that a vortex was formed to give a dimple at the water surface. The stirring was stopped after 23 hours and the mixture allowed to stand for 1 hour.
Visual observations made on the WAF showed dispersed test item to be present and hence it was considered justifiable to remove the WAF by filtering through a glass wool plug. Microscopic examination of the WAF after filtering showed there to be no micro-dispersions of test item present.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnids
- Method of breeding: Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis. Gravid adults were isolated the day before initiation of the test, such that the young daphnids produced overnight were less than 24 hours old. These young were removed from the cultures and used for testing.
- Source: In-house laboratory cultures.
- Feeding during test: Each culture was fed daily with a mixture of algal suspension (Raphidocelis subcapitata) and GEMMA Micro 300 fish food suspension.
Study design
- Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Remarks:
- Reconstituted water (Elendt M4)
- Limit test:
- yes
- Total exposure duration:
- 48 h
Test conditions
- Test temperature:
- 20- 21 ºC
- pH:
- 8.2 - 8.4
- Dissolved oxygen:
- 8.7 - 8.9 mg O2/L
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal: 100 mg/L (Based on the results of the range-finding test a "limit test" was conducted at a loading rate of 100 mg/L to confirm that at the maximum concentration given in the OECD/EC Test Guidelines no significant immobilization was observed.)
Measured: Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was used to monitor the exposure concentrations during the definitive test. TOC analysis of the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF preparations showed a measured concentration of 0.39 mg/L C/L at 0 hours and 0.19 mg/L C/L at 48 hours.
Given that toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or a mixture of components, but to the test item as a whole, the results were based on nominal loading rates only. - Details on test conditions:
- As in the range-finding test 150 mL vessel containing approximately 100 mL of test preparation were used. At the start of the test five daphnids were placed in each test and control vessel at random, in the test preparations. Four replicate test and control vessels were prepared. The test vessels were then covered to reduce evaporation and maintained in a temperature controlled room maintaining the water temperature at 18 to 22°C with a maximum deviation of ±1 °C with a photoperiod of 16 hours light (between 200 and 1200 lux) and 8 hours darkness with 20 minute dawn and dusk transition periods. The daphnids were not individually identified, received no food during exposure and the test vessels were not aerated.
The control group was maintained under identical conditions but not exposed to the test item - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- A positive control test using potassium dichromate as the reference item was performed twice in a 12 month period to demonstrate satisfactory conditions of the test.

- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- There was no immobilization in 20 daphnids exposed to a 100 mg/L loading rate WAF for a period of 48 hours. A single immobilized daphnid was observed in the control group after 48 hours exposure. Trapping at the surface was observed in the control group at 24 hours only. No sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed in the test group throughout the test.
It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L.
At the start of the mixing period the 100 mg/L preparation was observed to have formed a clear colorless water column with a slick of test item at the surface. After 23 hours stirring the 100 mg/L preparation was observed to have formed a clear colorless water column with a slick of test item at the surface and small brown particles dispersed throughout. After a 1-Hour standing period small brown particles were visible settled at base of the vessel. As visual inspection of the WAF showed dispersed test item to be present, the WAF was removed by filtration through a glass wool plug (the first 75 mL was discarded). Microscopic examination of the WAF after filtering showed there to be no micro-dispersions of test item present.
During the test the control and 100 mg/L loading rate WAF preparations were observed to be clear, colorless solutions.
TOC analysis of the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF preparations showed a measured concentration of 0.39 mg/L C/L at 0 hours and 0.19 mg/L C/L at 48 hours. The dissolved test item may have been one or several components of the test item. Given that toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or a mixture of components, but to the test item as a whole, the results were based on nominal loading rates only. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- The results from the positive control with potassium dichromate were within the normal range for this reference item (EC50(48 h):0.50 mg/L, NOEC:0.32 mg/L).
Any other information on results incl. tables
The test was considered to be valid given that no more than 10% of the control daphnids showed immobilization or other signs of disease or stress and that the oxygen concentration at the end of the test was equal to or greater than 3 mg/L in the control and test vessels.
Results range-finding test
One Daphnia treated at a concentration of 10 mg/L loading rate WAF was observed to be trapped at the surface after 24 hours exposure.
Based on this information a single loading rate of four replicates of 100 mg/L loading rate WAF, was selected for the definitive test. This experimental design conforms to a "Limit test" to confirm that no significant immobilization was observed.
Chemical analysis of the test preparations at 0 and 48 hours showed measured test concentrations of less than the LOD of the analytical method employed were obtained. This does not infer that no test item was in solution, just that any dissolved test item was at a concentration of less than the LOD.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of the test item to the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna was investigated following OECD/EC guidelines and gave a 48-Hour NOEL of 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna, according to OECD Guideline 202 and GLP principles.
Due to the low aqueous solubility and complex nature of the test item, for the purposes of the test, the test medium was prepared as a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF).
Following a preliminary range-finding test, 20 daphnids (4 replicates of 5 animals) were exposed to a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) of the test item at a nominal loading rate of 100 mg/L for 48 hours at a temperature of approximately 20°C to 21°C under static test conditions. Immobilization and any adverse reactions to exposure were recorded after 24 and 48 hours.
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was used to monitor the exposure concentrations during the definitive test as no test item was detectable in samples from the preliminary test and the analytical method could not be optimized. TOC analysis of the 100 mg/L loading rate WAF preparations showed a measured concentration of 0.39 mg/L C/L at 0 hours and 0.19 mg/L C/L at 48 hours.
Given that toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or a mixture of components, but to the test item as a whole, the results were based on nominal loading rates only.
Exposure of Daphnia magna to the test item gave EL50 values of greater than 100 mg/L loading rate WAF. The No Observed Effect Loading (NOEL) rate was 100 mg/L loading rate WAF.
It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L.
